Analysis Challenge: Can you earn the most Gallery views this month?

One month ago, we launched the Recorded Future Gallery, and we’re delighted that the publicly shared reports have already racked up more than 10,000 views! This fast start is exciting, but we know the surface is only scratched.

So, we’re hosting a contest during February to see which talented analyst using Recorded Future can create the most interesting report! We'll crown a champion the week of March 4.
It’s easy to participate:

During February log in or sign up for freeCreate a report, and publish it to the Gallery.At the end of the month, the author of the most viewed report wins a new iPod 5.

It’s no holds barred for spreading the word, so tweet, link, and promote your work throughout the month to earn more views. For inspiration, there are examples on Analysis Intelligence, and below, you’ll find two featured reports from the Gallery.

While you’re building a killer report for the contest, know that we also have tools specifically designed for power analysts.

Formerly known as Premium, Recorded Future Professional adds the following capabilities to the free Basic toolkit:

Export for visualizations (image, PDF, PPT, HTML) and data (CSV, KML)Private workspace for saving reports and sharing with individualsAdvanced search tools for querying by publication time, source attributes, and language.
